After Sandra Bullock went through all that heartbreak with Jesse James (and arguably Ryan Reynolds, many people didn’t buy them as a romantic couple, but I did!) a lot of us were rooting for her to find a decent non-douchebag non-famous type. If this latest report is accurate that may have happened for her, hooray! OK! is claiming that Sandra has found love in the arms of a producer named Jonathan Komack Martin. Bullock’s rep issued a surprisingly specific denial that the two have been “best friends for 15 years” and that “he co-produced the ‘George Lopez’ show with her and is part of her and her son’s life. He is Ryan Reynolds’ producing partner and they are all very good friends. In addition, the recent photo of them was taken after being followed for two and a half hours to Palm Springs for a memorial.” So he’s just her buddy and they’ve been friends for over a decade, or did it recently develop into something more? Does the guy play for the other team? I’m getting that impression from the rep’s statement. Here’s more, thanks to Hollywood Life.
Is there a love triangle between Sandra, Ryan, and his BFF Jonathon? An insider says that she’s definitely moved on from Ryan and that she’s getting her mojo back by spending lots of time with the ‘new’ guy!
Sandra Bullock, 47, has a new lease on life — not only because she’s mom to son Louis, but also because she’s found someone who treats her right and makes her laugh, reports OK! Magazine.
On Jan. 22, Sandy and Ryan Reynolds‘s BFF, Jonathon Komack Martin, were snapped stepping out of a white Porsche to attend a private party in L.A. An insider says that Jonathon was “very attentive” and “didn’t leave her side all afternoon.”
So who’s this “new” guy?
From what we know, Jonathon’s the son of a TV sitcom producer and a successful Hollywood producer himself. And he’s actually not really new to the Oscar-winning actress; in fact, they were introduced 15 years ago and even co-produced together on the George Lopez show.
But whatever Sandy’s true feelings are towards him, her lips are zipped.
“She’s being extremely secretive, though, which is typical,” says the insider. “Even when probed, she won’t reveal much more than saying what a great guy Jonathon is.”
So how does Ry-Ry, 35, feel about his producer friend being stuck to the hip with his former rumored gf? “Ryan isn’t annoyed or angry about Sandy spending so much time with Jonathon, but it’s a surprise to him,” reveals the insider.
Unlike Ryan, who’s been busy dating 24-year-old Blake Lively, Jonathon’s been a dependable companion for Sandy to lean on.
“She’s been pretty down for months. But these days, there seems to be a spring in her step,” explains the insider who feels Jonathon’s kept her smiling. “Sandra can trust Jonathon and right now that’s what she needs most. She’s just been so let down in the past, she really needs a good guy who can be there for her.”
[Details from OK!, writeup by Hollywood Life]
I so want this to happen for Sandy, but it sounds like all they’ve got is the detail that this guy attended a party with her and was by her side, which was explained away in detail by the rep. Who knows what’s true or if OK! is only going by the paparazzi photos and doesn’t have any other source. I like that she’s got her private life on lockdown, and I like that she hasn’t jumped into another relationship and is focusing on being a mom. I don’t think there’s much to this story, but I would be happy if I’m wrong. Sandy deserves some good lovin’ and I still find her awesome. JJ didn’t taint her in my eyes.
Update: Sandra gave a really sweet statement denying this story to Gossip Cop. She said:
”For over a decade now, I have been so lucky to have Jonathon and Ryan as my friends, and I agree with the reports that they are both very handsome and a great catch!”
She continues, “But the only man who has stolen my heart is my son. And for now I wouldn’t have it any other way!”

That was really nice, and I believe her. Oh well.

she looks fantastic. I’m a big fan of hers for many reasons. mostly because she’s a true talent and down to earth with her original good looks in tact and not botoxed out like all the rest of aging hollywood. She is so much better off after having left the grease monkey. wish her all the happiness.
I feel like she & Ryan never dated and were just friends…
I still can’t believe she dated Ryan Gosling though- is that not mind boggling??
PS- she looks so amazing in jeans, boots, t-shirt & cardigan (and glasses!)
I thought that as well, that her and RR have always been good friends.
I can’t read the headline because her super white smile blinded me.
Ugh. Women and men can be JUST friends! In Sandys case especially because she’s like that all-loveable girl that you just can’t help but like no matter who you are.
I agree, Asli, they seemed to be good friends to me too. I actually liked them both the better for taking consolation in a good friend then running to find a new piece (side-eye at La Lopez).
The rep is saying that inset picture was taken after a memorial? Did I read that right? Rep is claiming that it’s funeral attire?
Also, ew, he seems to favor white ill fitting pants
Yes, it was a memorial, and they are longtime friends, and have produced together and his attire was exactly what was appropriate for this memorial, I was there. The memorial was for a family member of mine, and Jonathan’s. There is a big difference between a memorial and a funeral. We were celebrating a very great person’s life. End of story.
His father was a huge tv actor/producer/director back in the 70’s and 80’s. Developed stuff like Courtship of Eddie’s Father, Chico And The Man, and Welcome Back Kotter. He was one of my favorite actors when I was a little kid.
I’m not sure why his kid uses Martin as a last name; maybe he is gay and he and his partner added the others name.
The producer is blipping on my gaydar big time. He must be her gusband….I am searching for a gusband. Gusband’s rock.
Sounds like a non-story to me. And he totally looks gay. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I just doubt they’re dating).
I think she’s just friends with both Ryan and this guy. But I do hope she finds someone great, if that’s what she wants.
Yikes can you say downgrade? Although maybe he makes up for it other ways…
Yes, because feeling loved and protected by your partner is all about how tall they are and whether they have the right cheekbones.
No kidding. (RobN, you’re right)
And did I not say he must make up for it in other ways? Personality, sense of humor, kindness, special talents, whatever. I didn’t say his looks (compared to Reynolds) make him incapable of being a good partner so no need to get your boobs in a knot over it.
I think Sandy is great and wish her happiness; Louis is a cutie, and very lucky to have landed her as a mom!
I agree. I just hope she doesn’t turn into one of those mothers who goes around calling her child her “boyfriend” and stuff.
I misread it for some reason, I thought it said Ryan Gosling. I was like wah? That would have been a juicier story.
According to Wikipedia, this guy may be the illegitimate grandson of Milton Berle! I can kinda see a resemblance…
I’m just glad Sandy seems like she’s in a good place now.
That whole thing must really suck the bag. She looks kinda’ empty next to that guy. Jesse wasn’t a good choice and I bet way down deep inside, Sandy knew she was rolling the dice. Lots of women want to “change” their man. Take the bad boy and fix him. Some aren’t fixable. The ol’ frog and scorpion story. Sandy is rich and famous and she will have a tough time finding someone that will be honest with her. As her looks fade, they will be looking at the money and her finding someone will be even harder. kiro
and another thing :)—-she needs to get off the dating celebs only kick. Chances of finding anything real there is slim to none.
